Hewlett-Packard printers are known for their dependability, yet despite everything, they require some assistance now and again.And we all know printers fail at the most inopportune moments. So, here are the top five printing obstacles and our handy solutions.
1.Paper Jams
Among the most widely recognized issues with any type of printer are paper jams. A printer will stick for any number of reasons: It's messy, the rollers on the printer that sustain the paper through its pathway are exhausted.
Solution:
Begin by reviewing the paper way and evacuate any stuck material, being mindful so as to take out any stuck paper straight — or more all—not tearing it. If it’s caught between rollers, follow the guide on how to release the pressure.In the event that it's a misaligned paper that caused it to stick, evacuate the plate to ensure the paper is situated accurately and reseat the plate, verify whether it's squared legitimately and reposition it back in the plate.
You should always ensure that the kind of paper being printed is upheld by your printer. And furthermore, make sure to store your paper where it's dry to avoid moisture that can make printing troublesome.
2. Printing takes too much time
Nothing is more awful than making awesome time with a task just to reach the stopping point when it comes time to print. Moderate print time can be caused by a high-resolution setting, a memory issue, as well as selection of drivers.

In case you're not searching for display quality, select draft, a standard or ordinary mode for office archives. For introductions or formal pieces switch your setting back to a high caliber.
Change from two-sided to simplex mode.Your driver can decide speed result, as well. Top of the line lasers and even some inkjets are accessible with a selection of drivers including PostScript, PCL as well as the producer's host-based driver. As a rule, PCL is best for speedier office printing and PostScript is better for illustrations serious applications and businesses.
3. A printer is displaying a 50.4 error message
A 50.4 error message on a some of the latest HP LaserJet printers demonstrates an issue with the power supply.
Solution:
If the printer is connected to a UPS, disengage it, or separate it from an electrical extension and connect it specifically to a divider outlet. A laser printer should never be connected to a UPS, on the grounds that the UPS can be harmed by the surges of power required by a printer to keep the fuser get together warm. In the event that it doesn't work, ensure that the greater part of the segments in the printer is situated properly.
4. Printer Ghosting
When it comes to printing proficient records inside the work environment, one of the most disappointing issues that could happen comes as printer ghosting. This is an issue that occurs inside laser printers when records are being printed, yet the toner on the physical copy delivered is significantly lighter in appearance and in less detail than the advanced document.
While printers that hint at ghosting are all the more regularly more established machines, new printers are additionally ready to demonstrate a similar issue.
Solution:
Check the electrical plug by connecting to an alternate printer to check whether similar outcomes happen. Ghosting can likewise be caused when consumable printer parts, (for example, the drum or imaging pack) are close to the end of their life. The greater part of the consumable parts in a printer are appraised for a specific number of pages. Once a printer gets close to that magic number, you'll have to supplant those parts to take out ghosting.
5. Faded Print
Your printer is working splendidly—yet your last item looks terrible. Smudges, poor picture quality or blurred type make even the best records look messy.
Solution:
A faded print picture is regularly the consequence of one of three conditions: The printer is getting low on toner, the print thickness is set too low, or Economode printing is turned on. For the last two settings, a printer individual test (commonly a different catch on the printer) will indicate what the present settings are. On the off chance that Economode is on, and clients are griping about how light the print is, turn it off or potentially set the print thickness higher. On the off chance that the toner is low, basically evacuating the cartridge and shaking it to redistribute the toner all the more uniformly can briefly resolve the issue until the point that you can supplant the cartridge.
